Existing law provides compensation for paid firefighters who contract cancer on the job, but makes no similar provision for volunteer firefighters.
This bill would provide compensation to the survivors of a volunteer firefighter who dies of work-related cancer by making them eligible for the death benefit awarded by the State Board of Adjustment for first responders who die in the line of duty.
